HC Deb 05 May 1969 vol 783 c38W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an undertaking that he will publish the terms of a re-scheduling of the Government's overseas debts, including any conditions attached.

Mr. Harold Lever

The most important of the Government's foreign currency debts is our repurchase obligation in respect of past drawings from the International Monetary Fund. Any change in our debt to the Fund would be published. It would also be my right hon. Friend's intention to lay before the House any future letter of intent which, in accordance with the Fund's normal practice, might be addressed to the Fund in his name.
